Who took more punches? Face swelling proves nothing except that Matthysse took a lot of punishment. Using your logic Groves has a better chin than Froch because Froch got dropped in their fight.
The man to beat at 140 is Ruslan Provodnikov: Period. Ruslan is that metaphorical Elephant in the room no one at 140 wants to acknowledge...much less fight. If asked, people will give all kinds of excuses as to why Ruslan Sucks and no one needs to fight him: they will dance around the issue. Let the Elephant Dance begin.
\ Because Garcia is a man. Ruslan is....something else. Too fast. Too much chin. Hits too hard. For Ruslan, Garcia isn't an opponent, he's a just another payday victim.
That was more a defence thing than chin. If Matthyse landed the shots Danny did then you could be sure Danny would be sleeping. However Danny has the ability to make the likes of Lucas miss all night.
